Aims of Training and Development
Training can be teaching employees new skills that are relevant to
their current job position or refreshing the skills that they already
possess. To have a good training and development programme enables
firms to develop individual employees and the organisation itself as
training is one of the best forms of motivation. Employees are able to
broaden their knowledge and become more valued within the firm. Having
a well-trained workforce is greatly beneficial for a company as
employees are likely to be more motivated and target driven. Also
various jobs and tasks are likely to be carried out more efficiently
if the workforce is highly skilled at what they do. Listed below are
some off the main benefits to a company in having a well-trained
workforce:
- Training and development will enable a company to have a much more
flexible workforce
- Employees will become more motivated and are then likely to be more
productive
- If employees are offered advanced training in areas such as ICT,
HSBC may find that can progress further as a firm into more advanced
markets
- If employees are motivated and comfortable in the work they do there
will be a fall in absenteeism
- If employees are properly trained in health and safety accidents
around the workplace will be reduced
Ø Types of Training
The three main types of training that companies offer are:
- Induction Training
- On-the-job Training
- Off-the-job Training
Induction Training
This involves introducing new employees to the workplace, existing
employees and showing them what the job will entail. It is important
that the they get an idea of how the company is run, the companies
history and that they get familiar with the services and products the
company offer. During the induction process employees will be shown
health and safety procedures and the basic layout of the workplace.

was to occur. The induction process allows employees to gain essential
knowledge before starting their job and ensures safety and maintenance
in the workplace.

The finance department will budget a certain amount for training and
the training department will have to make sure they stick to it. This
means that the training department would have to justify all costs
associated with the various training and development methods. They
would have to assess how many hours and how many workers the training
will use to get a rough idea of the cost.
Clearwater Strategy
HSBC use a strategy known as “Clearwater”. This is a strategy for
differentiating the bank from its competitors through the provision of
high quality customer service. This would create an environment
conducive to increased sales producing income growth and thus
increased profitability.
